Empress Fenghua

Chapter 415 Impeachment of Xin Wang
There was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, and everyone had a look of worry before the storm. When Prince Hou walked into the court hall, all the ministers gathered around to ask for their health. It seemed that there had been rumors about what happened last night.Prince Hou nodded with a smile, feeling like a duck to water in it, coping with it with ease.

Zhong Lichun walked in in court clothes, and suddenly there was no sound, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.Zhong Lichun smiled as usual, walked to his place in front of him and stood still.The people around avoided it, and no one stepped forward.Prince Hou and Zhong Lichun looked at each other, with smug smiles, they walked up to him and stood side by side.

"How? But have you seen what people want?" Prince Hou said contemptuously, "Your identity can only be a wisp of smoke. When I give birth to the emperor's son, I will also be the emperor's eldest grandson. What is the difference between you and me? The throne still depends on the person sitting on it, who is his real father!"

"This king has always believed that everything is man-made, not destiny!" Zhong Lichun looked at him with a firm smile, "What's more, if there is a destiny, it must be this king, not the person who caused the chaos."

Prince Hou looked at Zhong Lichun who was full of confidence, and couldn't help snorting, "Zhong Lichun, do you know? What I hate the most is your calm and composed aura, which feels like the world is in your hands. In fact, I don't care about the prince. I don’t really want to be that position at all, but I just want to defeat you and let you see what a god-blessed emperor is!”

"God?" Zhong Lichun smiled disdainfully, "Is His Royal Highness worthy of talking about gods? As the saying goes, there are gods three feet above your head. Don't do too many bad things like last night, or the gods will not be able to take care of you." !"

Prince Hou smiled faintly, "It seems that King Xin knows a lot about what happened last night! Do you think you can stay out of the matter if you don't show up? Didn't you see that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are on whose side?"

Zhong Lichun frowned, and looked at him solemnly, his heart was constantly churning with the faces of the officials in the middle, a burst of anger spontaneously arose...

Just when the confrontation between the two reached its peak, a clear voice reached their ears...

"My minister sees His Royal Highness Xin Wang!"

Zhong Lichun looked back at the man, dressed in court clothes but couldn't hide his clear face, his wheat-colored skin all made his regular features look more sunny, especially his eyes were different from ordinary people, a little yellowish, looking at people's eyes Always with a kind of brilliance...

"Gongshuo Guanlei?" Zhong Lichun seemed to have not seen this young man for a long time in Zhong Lichun's memory. Ever since Gongshubo passed away, the Gongshuo family seemed to be in a slump, including this young man who became famous as a young man!
The crown prince stared at him disdainfully, "I thought it was a courtier who was so rude, but it turned out to be a public loser, so it's no wonder!"

Gongshu Guanlei smiled and bowed, "His Royal Highness, forgive me. My dynasty has always been orderly, with distinctions in respect and inferiority, and ruled the world with etiquette. Although King Xin is a minister, he is an elder brother, and he is also the eldest grandson of the first emperor. Noble, in terms of relatives and closeness, he is the apprentice of my grandfather. It is understandable for me to meet King Xin first, and please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The crown prince glanced at Zhong Lichun thickly, "It seems that there is a saying that is true, the centipede is dead but not dead, hope is not completely hopeless, this makes me feel a little interested in playing! "Prince Hou turned and left, and walked to the other side.

Zhong Lichun shook his head with a smile, then turned to Gongshu Guanlei and said, "You have been complaining of illness for the past few months, why did you come here today? This situation doesn't seem suitable..."

"It is precisely because of such a desolate situation that the humble minister came here to help the trustworthy king." Gongshu Guanlei smiled brightly, "There is less charcoal in the snow, and more icing on the cake. The more difficult it is, the more you can show your humble minister Your painstaking efforts, isn't it? This is also the time for this humble official to ask for credit from King Xin."

Zhong Lichun couldn't help frowning, and looked at the young man suspiciously.

Gongshu Guanlei leaned closer to Zhong Lichun and said with a low laugh, "If King Xin ascends to the throne in the future, then don't forget the kindness of my humble minister who sacrificed his life to help today!" , to meet the emperor.

"Let's start playing if there is something to do, and retreat without a reason..." Huaide shouted, pinching his throat.

Ji Yu, who was standing behind Prince Hou, stood up, "I have a book to play!"

Zhong Lichen hummed vaguely, "What is Ji Aiqing going to play?"

"I ask the emperor to depose Xin Wang and demote him to a commoner!"

There was an uproar in the court, but it was also expected.There was a sneer at the corner of Zhong Lichun's mouth, and Ji Yuyi's expression was a little flustered, he didn't know where he left it, and he always felt a little messy...

"Bold!" Zhong Lichen scolded angrily, "Is the identity of King Xin the one that you can impeach? I see you are old-fashioned!"

Ji Yu trembled all over and said quickly, "Your Majesty, although I am old, I am not confused. Although King Xin has a noble status, a prince who breaks the law is as guilty as a commoner. King Xin sent people to visit the East Palace last night, intending to assassinate the crown prince. The crown prince is the prince. The future emperor! Xin Wang’s doing so is tantamount to conspiracy and rebellion!”

"Last night?" Zhong Lichen narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.He naturally knew what happened last night. If he could use this as a crime, he would have already mentioned it. Why wait until now?Naturally, he doesn't want to hand over this country to others!What's more, he is Zhongli Jun's son, his lifelong enemy, how can he let him succeed?
Zhong Lichun smiled lightly, and glanced at Ji Yu who was kneeling on the ground in a daze.It is really stupid to ask for trouble!The prince's thick eyes fell on him sharply. Zhong Lichun saw his smile and knew that Ji Yu was just a stepping stone for him, and his real purpose was far more than that!

"Last night, the East Palace was assassinated, and a large number of assassins almost injured the prince. Among the assassins was Prince Xin's concubine, Mrs. Hua Zhong! The concubine has no grievances with the crown prince, so how could she assassinate the crown prince? It must be too courageous!"

There was silence in the hall, Zhong Lichen looked down, and Ji Yu knelt on the ground in embarrassment for a moment.I thought it was a matter of striking while the iron was hot, and I could simply drag King Xin out and kill him, but I didn't expect this to be the case. Zhong Lichen's attitude seemed to be too much as expected...

"Xin Wang, is there such a thing?"

Zhong Lichun shook his head with a faint smile, "This matter... my nephew doesn't know anything about it."

Nephew!

His nephew's words are nothing more than killing him!That's right, everyone in the world knows that he is the eldest son of Prince Edward and the only heir of his elder brother.Just relying on this point, I can't touch him for the rest of my life...

Zhong Lichen's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Come here, pull Ji Yu out for me, put him in the dungeon, and wait for her punishment!"

"Your majesty..." Ji Yu shouted, "Your majesty, if you believe in the king, the throne is in danger! The throne is in danger..."

"Your Majesty, since King Xin has been involved in this matter, if we don't investigate clearly, there may still be rumors that King Xin mutilated his brothers..." Another minister stood up and said, "Since it is about King Xin's concubine, it is better to temporarily Put Mrs. Hua Zhong into the sky prison, and wait for the Dali Temple to find out, so I can still believe that Wang is innocent."

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the face of the royal family and the prestige of the crown prince. Please detain Mrs. Huazhong!"

"The same is true for the ministers!"

Zhong Lichen frowned. Although he really wanted to grasp the weakness of King Xin, Hua Zhong was Feng Qinyan's only blood after all, and he was also the person most like Feng Qinyan in the world.But one side is the stability of the throne, and the other side is a similar woman, which is more important, of course I have a weighing in my heart.

Just as Zhong Lichen was about to give up, he saw a rain of white flowers flying from outside the palace gate, and Bai Lian floated in, carrying a beautiful fragrance.The officials couldn't help being dumbfounded, looking at the two people who flew over from above Bai Lian, they were so magnificent, they looked like flying immortals...

When the toes of the two landed on the ground, Shengxue, dressed in white, looked extremely dazzling on the red carpet.White dress, silver lace, also decorated with pearls.The two of them each wore half of the jade pendants around their waists, returning home on a snowy night!
The prince's thick eyes couldn't help showing a trace of jealousy. A man like Xue Wuhen couldn't help but steal everyone's astonishing gazes, as well as the independent woman beside him!Why do all the good things seem to be entwined with others?There was a poisonous fire in Prince Hou's heart, wishing to step forward to destroy Xue Wuhen's appearance, and bring Huazhong back...
